Would you guys say that "Green Building" is an umbrella concept covering more than just the actual method of construction? If not, I'd be keen to learn of others' preferences between environmentally-friendly, energy-friendly or whatever.

The Architecture Centre describes such a house at:
http://www.architecturecentre.co.uk/events/Holcombe_passive_...
\"Germany\'s Passiv Haus Institut (PHI) has become a leading centre in developing a specification for the next generation of energy efficient buildings, the Passive House Standard. In 400 residential buildings the standard has reduced total energy consumption to 12% of the UK norm. The approach has now been applied to an office and factory in Colbe, Marburg.\"

I found this definition on http://www.planetproperty.de/magazine/dictionary_detail.phtm...
Passivbauweise
Building techniques
Im allgemeinen kühlt ein Haus nur dann aus, wie es Wärme nach aussen verliert. Nicht so bei einem Passivhaus, denn hier wird der Wärmeverlust so stark verringert, dass allein die durch das Fenster einfallende Sonnenwärme und die vorhandenen inneren Wärmequellen, z.B. Bewohner, Kochherd, etc. zusammen mit der nacherwärmten Zuluft ausreichen, diesen geringen Wärmefluß auszugleichen. Hierzu muß die Außenhaut des Gebäudes natürlich so perfekt dicht wie möglich sein.
